The Oddities of Grand Marquis - Book 3: Elegant Armageddon 🪼✔️

Thirty-Fourth

ZYLITH

As I rode with Dr. Market and Dr. Bluewater, they were silent pretty much all the way from Mrs. Holt's house. We learned that her husband was a secret agent from the government and that he took Mars to a government facility two towns away and that Max was there too. I wish I had my tablet to see their vitals... I hope we weren't too late...

The ringing of Dr. Bluwater's phone scared all of us and he answered it through the car.

"Hello?"

"Brunswick Taylor and Kasai are on their way to meet you at the government facility."

"Why just Brunswick?"

A scream echoed through the car and Dr. Armiallo chuckled.

"Looks like multiple jelly children growing inside of a human boy just doesn't work very well. Still can't get that formula right, I guess."

"I fucking hate all of you Elbaskins! Especially you, Zylith! I know you're there!" Dawaen screamed from the other side of the phone.

"I love you, babe!" I yelled back.

"I hope you crash, you stupid little-"

A door slammed. "Okay, enough of that... Either way, looks like the information on the thumb drive that Zylith gave Kasai to give to the Taylors worked. They're coming to join you."

"Thank god..." Dr. Bluewater said, leaning on his head on his hands. "Oh, that's wonderful news. Do you have the address that I sent you?"

"Yup, I gave it to Mr. Taylor and they are on the way. Any tips about delivery of these kids, Captain?"

I made a face. "Yeah... How did you know that I was a captain?"

"Whoopsie, my bad. Let it slip... or did I?"

"Who are you?"

"Aegy lallal tangvez katud'nem koete?"

"A972... You survived the crash."

"You sound so disappointed... Did you intentionally crash into the ground so that you would destroy me? Tsk, tsk, love, that's called premeditated murder."

"Shove it, Aaron."

"I hate that name! By the children of Knushnashka, I hate that name. There are plenty of other names that little shit could have picked besides AaROn... Anyhow, you seemed to have made a vital mistake, sweetheart. You destroyed the outside layer of your failed experiment and I was able to make my way into the portable Dream Room."

"Well then, I guess I miscalculated. Let me guess, you have access to anyone who was inside the Dream Room. Aren't you a clever boy?"

"Don't mock me, Shil. Do you know who the two most notable characters are within the Dream Room? Come on, take a guessy poo."

"Mars and Max. They were the first humans to ever be entered into the Dream Room."

"Preeeecisely! And since I have control of the Dream Room and I'm the best at the whole illusion thing and can access anyone's brain who was ever tapped into it, what do you think would happen if I really, really messed with two pitiful humans who's fragile emotional minds can't handle a lot of... well... stimuli?"

"What have they done to you? Don't you think the one you should attack is me? I mean, isn't it-"

"We were lovers, Shilwunvleksjulow... or should I say S684R. Did you think I would be ecstatic to find out that the one I wanted to be with fell in love with a Solid? Fell so much in love with it that you sacrificed your fluidity to be in that shell of a body? Yes, I'm bitter. I'm bitter that your betrayal led to a name from the goddess, a position in a job that you weren't even qualified for... you were just a peon... just like me."
